"A video of an alleged strike by Russian FPV drones on fiber optics on Ukrainian Armed Forces transport in Kursk Oblast is being actively discussed. Much has already been said about the effectiveness of drones, but attention should be paid to something else in this video.

Civilian transport used by the Ukrainian army is becoming increasingly difficult to use for its intended purpose. Apparently, a pickup truck was trying to pull out a minibus stuck in the mud, as a result of which both vehicles and people were in the open for a long time and were discovered from the air.

Obviously, not the most severe off-road conditions have long been a problem for both sides. However, for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Kursk Oblast, the supply problem is critical, since the longer it is necessary to maintain a presence on the territory of the Russian Federation, the more supplies, rotations, and everything else are needed."
